RFJam Media Event cum Review of Pioneer Headphones

Was invited down to RFJam media event - A dance battle between different dancers.. and as promised, I finally had the opportunity to review some awesome headphones from Pioneer during its Designer Collab Launch as well! 

Well, who says there are no local talents in Singapore?

I hate to admit that I was not able to capture as many photos as I had hoped to due to the overwhelming crowd... Nonetheless, here are a few that I managed to capture after much squeezing through!

The young dancers ready for their battle..

Of course, different teams had their fair share of supporters!

There were small booths with Pioneer headphones - and an Instagram contest as well in which we could participate and win instant prizes at the end of the session! 

I was actually quite kiasu and did it by spamming a few photos of myself posing with the headphones. 

Here's one of my submitted entries (Haha, I do not want to spam repeated entries... So if you are interested to see more, just follow me at Instagram @ SGCOMPLAINQUEEN!)

I specifically like the color of this headphone - SE-MX9-T! It's not really striking; but yet there's an air of elegance about it. Not to mention that it can look good on either males or females as well!

Sound quality? Although I am no expert, but I have to say I am really impressed by the clear sound quality that it produces. It does make the music sound more "superior" as advertised. Annddd.... It's retailing at $399!

Aiya, you have to try it yourself to believe.

This is another model - SE-MX9-S

Its sound quality is quite close to the previous - but the color of this particular model isn't my cup of tea though. 

This is more of a striking color - bright orange.  I am sure any hipster will totally rock this. (Just that the white color part might be dirtied easily though)

I am surprised out well the bass was enhanced through the headphone... It was as though I was in a studio! Unfortunately, I was not able to enjoy a 100% percent of its sound quality due to the fact that the venue was too noisy :(

Spotted this beauty inside a display case! It's enhanced with fake jewels - and the headphone looks sophisticated! 

I was actually multi-tasking in the midst of testing the headphones! Haha.

There were 2 dancers battling against each other while 3 judges watched from onstage. They would give their verdict at the end of the battle!

Supporters watching intently...

I was actually situated at a position faraway from the stage, but I was glad my camera managed to zoom in to its potential! :p

And guess what? They even had their own tees, caps , etc for sale! :)

How innovative.

Some photos taken at the event:

Marie testing one of the headphones: Heh.

There was even a short break in between and I took the opportunity to roam around and take photos:

Thank you for the invitation to this media event... !

[Movie Review] The Conjuring

So I managed to catch the horror/thriller or whatever-you-call-it movie of the year -
The Conjuring - on the exact day of Singapore's National Day with my not-so-botak BF. (evil grin)

Many people have been raving about this movie and I was told repeatedly how awesome it was...So of course it should be a wise choice to catch it (especially when I am such a horror maniac). Haha.. One of my friends even told me that he was scared stiff himself despite the fact that he was a horror fan as well! Now, that definitely sounded like a challenge...

So what is my verdict? Here goes:

It's AWESOME beyond awesome. The movie did not scare me successfully to a certain extent, but I would say it's indeed one that is worth every penny. There wasn't any scene that I found boring, and I truly enjoyed every single second being engrossed in the movie. 

(Haha, you would find yourself holding tight to your seat while preparing yourself to expect the unexpected!)

Basically, the movie revolves around a family of 7 (5 of whom were kids), who were HEAVILY disturbed by hauntings for years ever since they moved into a farmhouse. 

Well... ...

We are not talking about ordinary ghosts here, but demon possession. Think "The Exorcist", if you have watched.

Watch how the family was tormented by the demon until their saviors -two paranormal investigators- came to know about their situation and decided to help them. It was no easy task as they soon found themselves involved in the trauma as well.

There were lots of scenes that portray violence as the poor mother of the family was seen being thrown around like a ragdoll, scratched and everything you can imagine possible. There was not a single day when she managed to pass her day by in peace...

I love the hide-and-seek parts (those were the parts when the audience would easily scream) as the "ghost" would usually appear behind the main character.

And you know what was the best (and probably worst) part of the movie?

That this movie is NOT just your ordinary movie.

Because everything - including the horror you have witnessed in it- were based on a TRUE story. In other words, it is a re-enactment. Even the names remain unchanged. The family you see in the movie is a REAL family that is still living today (of course re-enacted by renowned actors and actresses, lah).. . And even the paranormal investigators were real people as well.

(Except that the real Ed Warren passed away in 2006. His wife, Lorraine Warren is still alive and active.)

It was an interesting research after watching the movie... Go and google them. You will definitely find out more than what the movie shows.

Well... I shall not disclose much as I do not want to "spoil" the "fun". I would say, "Go on.... It's a highly recommended movie..."

Ten thumbs up are simply not enough.
